Darren Fletcher has been in unforgiving form this season, coming
through the middle to round off a team goal.
His latest arrived in the Everton fixture, and Sir Alex Ferguson's
decision to extend Fletcher's stay seems all the wiser, especially
considering the midfielder was in demand over the summer.
Fletcher though, upon hearing Ferguson's praise for him yesterday,
is embarrassed by the fuss made over him.
"I feel slightly embarrassed," Fletcher is quoted by ITN as
saying.
"From what I have seen, Dimitar Berbatov looks like a good piece of
business and Ronaldo is still here.
"But the manager made me feel wanted and said I was a big part of
the team. It was the reassurance I needed, so I was happy to sign
the contract," he said.
"You have to think of the consequences before you leave here
because there is no place like Manchester United.
"A lot of people told me but I have also seen it first hand. The
decision to leave would be massive. Thankfully, it has not come to
that," he added.
"I feel as though I am part of the team and am doing my bit to help
achieve success. As long as that continues I am happy to be here.
The day I feel I am not contributing as much as I can, it might be
time to move on."
